People online are doing the “Florida Man” challenge, and the results are wild

Florida man challenge

One of the stranger online challenges we’ve seen, and that’s saying something.

In the past, we’ve seen a great number of online challenges take the internet by storm and go viral.

Some were for charity, some were for science. Others are just for fun.

And this definitely falls into that third category.

People online are typing their birthdays into Google, preceded by the words “Florida Man”, and the results show a news headline from the state of Florida from that day.

And the results are wild.

For some reason, there seems to be an absolutely bizarre news story about a “Florida Man” for each of the 365 days of the year.

We can only hope and pray that it’s not the same man every time.

For example, typing in my birthday alongside the words “Florida Man”, returned the following news story…

Or another date at random, let’s say 12 November…

Grand.

There is literally one for every day of the year.

We’re sure this doesn’t represent all of the 21 million people who live in The Sunshine State, but some of you have some explaining to do nonetheless.
